Technical Abstract

The present invention provides a data device to speech service bridge. The bridge allows packet-based devices, such as, for example, the PDA and 2.5/3G cellular phone, to access voice services.

Patent Claims
14 claims

Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.

1

1. A data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource, comprising: a port to receive from and transmit data to a browser executing on a packet enabled device, the port receiving at least one command from the packet enabled device to access at least one resource identified by the browser of the packet enabled device that is required to display data on the packet enabled device wherein the at least one command is a low level command or a high level command, the port transmitting a result of the at least one command processed by the at least one resource to the packet enabled device for use by the browser to allow the display of the data; a data device communicator coupled to the port to receive data from and return data to the packet enabled device, the data device communicator to establish a communication link between the port and the packet enabled device, the received data including a command for access to at least one resource necessary to display the data on the packet enabled device, the return data including processed data to allow the packet enabled device to display the data; a command bridge connected to the data device communicator for receiving and mapping the at least one command from the packet enabled device to a standardized protocol when the at least one command is a low level command, and for receiving the result from the at least one resource and mapping the result into a protocol usable by the packet enabled device such that the browser can display the data; a voice service runtime integration connected to the command bridge to process the at least one command from the packet enabled device when the at least one command is a high level command; and a resource termination connected to the command bridge, the resource termination to establish a call between the resource termination and the at least one resource, the resource termination to transmit the at least one command in the standardized protocol to the at least one resource subsequent to the establishment of the call and to receive the result from the at least one resource, wherein the packet enabled device is configured to display the data using the result.

2

2. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 1 wherein the at least one resource comprises a plurality of applications operating remotely.

3

3. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 1 wherein the command bridge maps to a session initiation protocol for call control and a realtime transport protocol for media transport.

4

4. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 1 wherein the at least one resource comprises at least one voice service application.

5

5. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 4 wherein the at least one voice service application is selected from a group of voice service applications including speech recognition resource and a text to speech resource.

6

6. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 5 wherein the at least one command includes speech application language tags.

7

7. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device with a telephony resource according to claim 1 wherein the resource termination further comprises at least one call session portion to control calls between the resource termination and the at least one resource and at least one media transport management portion to manage the transfer of data to and from the at least one resource.

8

8. A non-transitory computer program product storable in a memory and executable by a computer comprising a computer usable medium including computer readable code embodied therein for processing data to allow packet enabled device access to display data requiring access to telephony resources, the computer usable medium comprising: code adapted to be executed by a processor configured to receive data from and transmit data to a browser executing on a packet enabled device, the data received from the packet enabled device including at least one command to access at least one resource identified by the browser of the packet enabled device that is required to display data on the packet enabled device wherein the at least one command is either a low level command or a high level command, the data transmitted to the packet enabled device including a result of the at least one command processed by the at least one resource for use by the browser to allow the display of the data; code adapted to be executed by a processor configured to establish a communication link between a data device to speech service bridge and the packet enabled device such that the data may be received from and transmitted to the packet enabled device from the data device to speech service bridge; code adapted to be executed by a processor configured to map the at least one command from the packet enabled device to a standardized protocol wherein the at least one command is either a low level command or a high level command, and to map the result into a protocol usable by the packet enabled device such that the browser can display the data; and code adapted to be executed by a processor configured to establish a call between a resource termination of the data device to speech service bridge and the at least one resource, the resource termination to transmit the at least one command in the standardized protocol to the at least one resource subsequent to the establishment of the call and to receive the result from the at least one resource, wherein the packet enabled device is configured to display the data using the result.

9

9. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 8 wherein code to access at least one resource is configured to access a plurality of applications operating remotely.

10

10. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 8 wherein code configured to map maps to a session initiation protocol for call control and a realtime transport protocol for media transport.

11

11. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 8 wherein the at least one resource comprises at least one voice service application.

12

12. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 11 wherein the at least one voice service application is selected from a group of voice service applications including speech recognition resource and a text to speech resource.

13

13. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device to access a telephony resource according to claim 12 wherein the at least one command includes speech application language tags.

14

14. The data device to speech service bridge for enabling a packet enabled device with a telephony resource according to claim 8 wherein code adapted to be executed by a processor configured to establish a call between a resource termination of the data device to speech service bridge and the at least one resource is further configured to include a call session portion to control a call between the resource termination and the at least one resource and to include a media transport management portion to manage the transfer of data to and from the at least one resource.
